Episode 24 - Euro 2020 Special - A Shot At Glory (2002)

It’s The Culture Swally Euro 2020 Special! After 23 years of hurt, Scotland are back on the big stage!
Rather than a look at the news, we delve into some of Scotland’s best football songs, including Del Amitri, John Gordon Sinclair, Andy Cameron and The Scotland Squad.
We also look at what would happen if Rangers legend Ally McCoist assumed the role of a Celtic legend in a movie starring Academy Award winner Robert Duvall and Batman. A Shot At Glory.
Released in 2002, the film tells the story of scrappy lower-league Scottish football club Kilnockie and their Cinderella run in the Scottish Cup. We discuss accents, how good the football is and Ally McCoist in a sex scene!
